Bruker D8 ADVANCE A25 X-ray diffraction system capable of measuring crystalline phases on powder samples, thin films and small heterogeneous solid samples.

The X-ray diffraction equipment is configured for the analysis of polycrystalline samples. It has an X-ray tube with linear focus Cu radiation, a theta-theta configuration goniometer with a range of 1-130º.

The equipment has a sample holder with automatic turret changer for 15 samples compatible between diffractometers.

The LYNXEYE XE 1-D detector of dispersive energies and high resolution that eliminates fluorescence and kβ radiation, acting as a monochromator optic in a diffracted beam. In short, what this detector does is to suppress the fluorescence and Kβ radiation produced (it acts and behaves like a secondary monochromator) without losing more than 8% of signal, i.e. it combines the techniques of energy dispersive detectors with the speed of 1-D detectors.
